NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

Whew! Tough list!

For me : DDY, Steve Perry, and Ray Davies (just 'cause I love him and the Kinks).

Paul Rodgers would honestly be one of the best, though. Along with DDY and SP! :)

After picking 10 singers a week ,working their way from #40 and up to #1(over 4 weeks),there are unfortunately no Styx members on the list.
So it goes.

Nope you can't vote for Perry or Garfunkel because they sing ballads. And ballads suck, right?

Oh, not at all! In fact, I only listen to ballads. I just pretend to hate them to keep my online persona going. I have everyone fooled. Incidentally, I wrote this post well over a month ago. I see I'm not the only one who was blessed with one of your witty retorts, either. Your parents didn't splurge for summer camp this year, Raj?

IF he ever had anything to add, he could stay. But he never has anything to add other than to slam Zan.

Nature of the beast is that the band has created divisions within the fan base, but we can't discuss anything without it being over run with the personal dribble we keep getting.

Well, the real issue is not whether Gowan is a good lead singer. IMO, to be a classic rock singer (and qualify for the poll), you actually had to write and/or sing classic rock during the classic rock era. Gowan was an 80s pop man and being from Canada, we used to listen to Strange Animal and lap it up. But, it is certainly not classic rock.

I think it's no mystery how I feel. I mean, how many warnings does he need? Even FROY got banned for awhile, and he isn't anywhere close to being like Rajah.

<---Who's willing to bet Rajah cries foul play and mistreatment too because he's a professional victim as well as being mean and useless

Traveling WIlbury's box set was re-released this week. Has both albums (remastered) and a dvd with the recording of the first album and all the videos.

If you like them, it's a must. (Actually i am listening to it right now.

The overwhelming response I have is that you should go. So consider this your last chance. And NO more posts aimed at Zan.

I just think it was that Rajah was sick of Zan basically commenting on everyone's post all the time. Cannot even read a post without seeing Zan make a comment on almost anything anyone says, and a lot of times in a very cocky manner, yet nothing is said on that end.
And yes, I have gotten to a point where I just skip over pink words, before someone's says, why don't you just not read post from Zan, it's hard to not find them all the time, but easy to find with the annoying avatar and pink words.

Aren't people supposed to make comments on others comments in a forum? Everyone in here has a strong opinion about the band in one way or another. It's not like we don't know where each other stands on the issues. Zan has a lot to say and feels strongly about her beliefs, but she doesn't make it her life long goal to criticize anyone regardless of what they say as others do. She could say the sky is blue and some would try to argue the point with her.
